Ive been pondering.
When you people were children, what was your first parentally enforced "bed time"?
Also, did it change with age? How did that go?
Were there trial periods at later times before permanent implimentation?
Also, at what age did your parent/s/guardian/s just stop giving a fuck about it?

Here's mine.
*Up until the age of 6, It was 7:30pm.
*At 7, It was 8:00pm, IF I ws watching a show that carried over.
*At 8, It went up to 8:30pm...first of all for few nights a week, then all the time.
*At the age of 10, After pushing little by little, it went up to 10:30pm, but I'd stay awake in my room reading or like...dissassembling/reconstructing electrical devices and toys until I got bitched at.
*At 12-13, around about when I started going to highschool, I was allowed to stay up 'til midnight, and I could quietly watch tv in my room thereafter...this was the beggining of my "bed time' independance....bit by bit the boundaries were deconstructed, and at one point, my mother caught me watching tv at about 2am in the living room, half asleep, I was told "you stupid boy, I just don't care anymore, don't blame me if you can't wake up for school in the morning!" (Like I cared).
From that point onwards, I was free!

Tell me your stories...assuming some of you ancient folk can actually remember.
